MOTM

So can we just talk about how hot Andy Roddick is right now? I mean, he's pretty damn hot all the time but he is looking nine kinds of fine after that epic match at Wimbledon.

And somehow this persistent underdog status just works for him, even though he LOOKS like one of those people that gets by easily in life.

Anyway, even though I totally love both Roger and Rafa, here's hoping this is Andy's year to kiss the US Open cup!!!

Fashion Victims


So, the one blog that I have been following since the beginning of blogdom is the irreverently witty Go Fug Yourself, written by Fug Girls Heather and Jessica, contributors to NY Mag's online fashion section.

The Fug Girls chronicle the life and times of the sartorially challenged celebrities among us...er, if we lived in the Hollywood Hills or Penthouse B on the Upper West Side, that is.

Take the gorgeous and gorgeously talented Kristen Bell up there. Hot hair? Check. Hot shoes? Check. Hot wrinkled mess of a dress? Check check and....check. KB gets a big ol' FUG for that one.

Lest you think that minor fashion faux pas like wrinkles are the focus of GFY, I give you exhibits A, B, C and D.

Those are some serious wackadoodle outfits you got there ladies!! Congrats! You have been fugged by GFY!

Of course, the Fug Girls have their favorite offenders: Lindsay Lohan, Aubrey O'Day, anybody named Kardashian, and wannabe-celebrities like Bai Ling and Phoebe Price among them. (Who??? Exactly.)

The girls tag their posts with guffaw-inducing labels like "Holy Sleeves Batman", "Look into pants", and my fave "Oh honey no", for those general but blatant crimes against fashion. AND they hold an annual Fug Madness bracket tournament where one lucky winner is crowned the worst dressed celebrity of the year! Hilarity is guaranteed to ensue.

Full disclosure: I willfully admit that I know absolutely nothing about the fashion industry and I couldn't tell tulle from taffeta but I am a veritable pro at recognizing good writing and high humor. And this blog has got both. Huzzah!

Busy Beaver


So, as you can tell, from my utter lack of posts for the past few days, work has picked up a tiny bit...which I'm totally happy about. I would love to feel productive and busy 100% of the time that I am at my job.

However, for those days when I spend 59 out of every 60 seconds looking at the clock, I'm every so grateful to visit DEMOTIVATIONAL POSTERS

These mock-motivational posters are ENTIRELY not safe for work, and completely offensive and politically incorrect....which is why I love them!!! (Possible THE most offensive is the Muslim Women one...and it literally made me shoot soda out of my nose.)

Buy one for your favorite underachieving, still-stuck-in-his-frathouse manchild today!
